Absolutely disagree. Felt like they tried to do camera work like Wan mostly in the beginning of the film, and it failed miserably. Forgettable characters, and the story only progressed in between the cheap scares, which this film has plenty of. Fairly unimaginative, and while the first Annabelle had a terrible ending (like many films within the genre,) the scares felt a lot more imaginative than any of the ones in this film. This and the Conjuring 2 have marked a decline in this series/universe.
Also, they did not build tension whatsoever in this film. None. The scares became frustrating by the ending of the film.
Movie was just a rehash of The Conjuring 2 right down to the scares.
